The Enemy Within
Nikita Krushchev may be gone, but his progeny live on…and they are still wreaking havoc.
Education
General Washington: The Education of a Virginia Patriot
The greatest president of them all, George Washington – surveyor, planter, trader, legislator, executive, and soldier – had no “higher education” at all. How ever did he manage it?

The Academy That Wanted to Be Ivy League: West Point, Rankings, and the Cost of Forgetting War
West Point does not need to be Harvard. America already has Harvard. What it needs—what it has always needed—is an academy singularly focused on producing officers whose primary purpose is to close with and destroy the enemy.
Academia’s Assault on the History of Western Civilization
What is the main opposition to requiring or teaching Western Civilization survey courses? Why is teaching the considerable and important political and social contributions Western civilization has made to the world a bad thing?
The Road to Communism
In case you haven’t noticed, we have a communist revolution on our hands. It began in earnest in 1962 when our Supreme Court decided that Judeo-Christian values were to be excluded from our public schools. It initiated a profound shift in American education that opened the door to insidious indoctrination that has permeated our society.
NIL and the Death of College Football: When the Inmates Run the Yard; Part IV of the “The Student-Athlete Is Dead” Series
College football didn’t just lose its way—it pawned its compass, financed a leased Lamborghini, and told tradition to hit the transfer portal.
Eligibility, international intrigue and NCAA drama; The pro-to-college pipeline
It was a headline that I had to read twice: An NBA draft pick deciding to walk away and play college ball instead. Being an NBA draft pick wasn’t enough for James Nnaji.
When a Raging Anti-Semite Feels Comfortable Enough to Go On a Tirade.
Lower Gwynedd Township was established in 1698 by William Penn, a very well-to-do township in what is now mostly well-to-do Montgomery County, one of the collar counties of the City of Brotherly Love. I have done a couple of projects in Lower Gwynedd, and not only could I not have afforded a home there, I …
Economic Illiteracy…On Full Display, by Dylan Allman
Wealth is created through entrepreneurial coordination under uncertainty, not hoarded as a static pile waiting to be reassigned. Social Security’s problem is not a shortage of billionaires to harvest but a political design that ignores time preference, demographics, and capital accumulation.
How Long Will Authorities Hide Brown University Shooter’s Motive?
This article goes to press just hours after they identified the shooter as an immigrant from Portugal, Claudio Neves Valente, age 48, a former Brown University engineering grad student. He entered the country under the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program lottery in 2017 and was given a green card.
Perhaps We Should Start Telling the Unvarnished Truth Instead of Hiding Behind Euphemisms
It was with some amusement that I saw the screen blurb screen captured to the right in Wednesday morning’s Philadelphia Inquirer “Newsletters” section of their website main page. When schools move ‘tough-to-teach’ kids | Morning Newsletter by Paola Pérez | Wednesday, December 17, 2025 | 6:00 AM EST It’s not unusual for students to switch …
Leadership Series: The Ride of the Spineless, Part III
Until institutions decide to reward courage instead of punishing imperfection, we’ll keep getting leaders who need 27 meetings to schedule a meeting.
Part III–America Lost Its Engineers Because We Forgot The Magic
America used to build things — bridges, railroads, skyscrapers, ships, engines, rockets that broke gravity’s neck. Now we build strip malls that collapse after 12 winters and school systems that produce seniors who can’t measure a 2×4 without crying.
Protecting Children in School
I pulled my two beautiful children out of public school and put them into a Catholic school. I wanted a refuge. I had faith that in a Catholic school, I would find virtue. What I found was pretense.
Larry Summers Has a Blot on His Resume
The latest cautionary tale in the news concerns a man who had his fifteen minutes of fame, enjoyed the trappings of power for decades, and now, at 70, Larry Summers is suffering quite a fall from grace.
Breaking the Cycle in Education
When I retired in 2017 and finally got settled back in Michigan around 2019, I decided to try something new — teaching. I earned my interim certificate and took a job in what turned out to be one of the poorest counties in the state, measured by home values and income. You could see the poverty in the houses, the roads, and, more than anything, the expectations kids had for themselves.
Hybrid Homeschool. The Pythagorean Theorem Won’t Help You at the Gas Pump
The system brags about meeting “state standards,” but half those standards were written by people who couldn’t change a tire, much less balance a budget. So we end up with teenagers who can solve for x but can’t make change for a $20.
My Little School
It was late. I pulled into the campus after seven o’clock to attend my last class of the semester. My last college class. Ever. It was a night class. In America, most self-respecting people my age were finishing supper, settling down to watch “Wheel of Fortune.” But I was in school. I had been attending …
Lifetime Teacher
The collapse of the family, as the source for manners, civility and the desire to learn, places an undue demand on our teachers/school systems, and ultimately, the courts/police/corrections systems.
